Issue Topic: "The study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes."

I support the above statement... Human brain is very much like a machine, controlled by hormones. Whatever input you provide, the same class of outcome you will get. Similarly, as an input the knowledge of academic discipline creates background, and results in the way how we comprehend and perceive the world. Technically, all theses phenomena are quite biological. It is perception that Mathematics students are rather destructive in nature whereas Art students are cool and composed. All these are effects of hormones flowing in the body. These flows of hormones are regulated by our activities. It may be our meeting with different people, indulgence in other conducts or it may be the knowledge of academic discipline. And this is the main reason why different people have different opinion on the same topic or why the same person thinks differently after the exchange of knowledge.

I have studied in my school days, the two poets William Wordsworth and Robert Herrick composed poems on the daffodil flower. “Daffodils” by W. Wordsworth and “To Daffodils” by Robert Herrick. Wordsworth gave his optimistic view and praises the beauty of the flower throughout the composition. On the other hand, Robert H. says that “hey daffodils! You are fugitive and you will die soon” and shows his pessimistic view. The difference arises between them certainly because of their different surroundings and knowledge as Robert H. is poet of 17^Th century and W. Wordsworth, romantic poet of 19^Th century.

Many examples are spread around, the famous freedom fighter of Indian history Saint Arbindo Ghosh; initially his involvement in the freedom of India was as an extremist. Later on, when he studied Indian philosophy and come in intimacy with true Hinduism; he left his view as an extremist. The above fact can be supported by his opinion indited in his book “The Life Divine”. Further, being a student of chemical engineering I started observing the world chemically and even more mathematically. This was not the case before when I was in my high school. The differences come into play when I got involved in the same field. I started reflecting it clearly. This is not in my case only but a generalized truth.

The other thing is that it is not only knowledge of academic discipline but also other equipments that change the view of the observer how he perceives the world. These things are change in time period, nature of era and relationship of human behavior with social environment. The above argument can be supported by the fact that an individual born 50 years ago has different opinion about the world scenario than other person of the same discipline born today. Observations will change at regular time intervals with influencing factors.

The knowledge of academic discipline is, of course, like a tool and human behavior is to carry out the experiments with instruments all the time. Comparing the surrounding around them and perceiving on the basis of their knowledge is their basic instinct.
